I have mine sitting in my cupholder awaiting the time I finally remember to bring some superglue to my property with me. You know, for some reason it never would have crossed my mind to do this despite staring at my bag of zip ties I have in my tool bag each time I open my vehicle to grab my...

Today I'm doing my 50 hr maintenance in my outdoors "workshop" 😁. I sure am racking up the hours on this thing, feels like I just got it yesterday.

I installed my Pats quick attach on my lower link arms yesterday. So far, so good, I can give a better review later as I use them. I didn't want the standard quickattach because I wanted something that would work no matter what implement I picked up. I only have to attach the upper link and...

Hm, half a meter precision is around 1.5 feet, when he's originally off by 1-2 feet, I'm not sure this would work out too well. Seems pretty horrible to me but I'm used to planting corn where a few inches actually matter a lot, I don't have experience with your system. Is half a meter like...

Whenever I was doing tillage or something like that, the best thing I could figure was put head in fixed spot and put a mark on edge of cab frame where fresh dirt on left or right touched the cab based on that line of sight. With your head in a fixed spot you don't have parallax error and with...

Yes, ordered... I don't know what grade hardness of what was originally in there, I'm not putting something else in there when it costs $12 OEM. If I was on my parents farm helping with harvest where every minute counted, of course, I'd make it work with something else instead of making trip...

Nice pics @Gnome I especially like the one where you stopped and took one of the scenery. Man this country is so varied and beautiful, and that blue tractor looks great against that backdrop. Thanks for sharing! I'm stuck at a desk all week through Sunday, fun to see the images. To fit the...

I'll let him answer for himself, but I'd expect it's a similar reason to myself: I need to get the whole stump and as much of roots out as possible for multiple foundations and tillage. I knew I needed a backhoe for most of my tasks and while I could benefit from a stump grinder for some jobs...

That's disappointing for you. Thanks for bringing it here on the thread though, even though I couldn't help you, I now have some ideas for future purchases that would make me a lot more productive!

One thought is you could look to buy something like this, then work to make it fit on your backhoe, basically you buy the tooth/ripper part, modify it to fit on your backhoe. I'd guess that would be too small so you'd have to either torch off the top bit, or just keep it and build it out so...

I didn't even know what a ripper tooth was, but after a google search upon seeing your post I see the value in this. I found this video, seems easy enough for a homemade project that just needs to meet farmer DIY quality, I'm going to be looking at doing something similar myself. I think for me...

I echo what others have said from my own experience. I used to have a small you tube channel where I did farming simulator videos, but the advice I'd get was the same. You are always your own worst critic! I no longer record gaming, but was obsessed with having the perfect audio, editing...

Got my tractor and 5 foot box blade today. Only had about an hour to work with it but with all 5 shanks lowered the only time I had a problem was when it got caught on a root. I was smoothing out path dozer cleared trees from about a year ago, still a lot of roots leftover from that. Overall I...

Yeah, last month I remember reading a market report that John Deere has an $8.1 billion backlog of orders that they are working to fill. They've had a hard time hiring people and also part shortages slowing things down, like computer chips from overseas being one of them. The United States...

Do any of y'all have a 5 ft box blade for the MT2 25s? It's what my dealer is recommending based on the weight of the tractor and what he's getting for his when he buys one soon himself. Not worried as he said I could trade it in for like full refund on 4 footer if it really doesn't work...
